Four hours ago, Avery — pictured here in a photo from tonight’s final gig in Perth posted to Dave Navarro’s Twitpic — tweeted: “thats it. with equal parts regret and relief, the janes addiction experiment is at an end.”

Jane’s Addiction first broke up in 1991 after Avery decided to quit; Navarro followed suit, and the band split after playing its final show in Hawaii. While Avery and Navarro played together as Deconstruction, and released a self-titled album in 1994, the bassist declined to participate in initial Jane’s reunions in 1997 and the early 2000s. He was replaced in ’97 by the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Flea, and Chris Chaney on the band’s 2003 disc Strays(Chaney also rejoined the band for its recent New Year’s Eve gig in Aspen, Colo.).
